![]() ![]() I remember getting thrown out of a mall when I was thirteen or fourteen, ’cause security said we were intimidating paying customers. And then, when we’re all together, we become even more of a target for that bullshit. ![]() ![]() There Holmes talks about Black masculinity.Īnd Black boys, we tend to grow up a whole lot faster, since there is still a not-so-subtle undercurrent of fear surrounding our bodies and our personhood in this country-especially if we happen to be as big, physically, as my family tends to be. Here we have his debut New Yorker fiction, “Children of the Good Book.” I have read the (very good) author interview with Deborah Treisman, so I am intrigued. Has anyone reading this read it? I’d love to know how it is! I don’t recall coming across his work before at all, though I see he published a book with Little, Brown in 2018 called How Are You Going to Save Yourself. Holmes is a completely new author for me. ![]()
